Horticulture Therapy

I attended the monthly MGV Brown Bag today at the Milwaukee County UW-Extension Offices.

The topic was Horticulture Therapy.

The presenter was Mike Maddox, Horticulture Educator for Rock County.

We heard about the benefits for jail inmates, youths with cognitive disabilities, patients recovering from surgery, people recovering from drug/alcohol addiction, etc.

There was a good turnout (ten including myself) and lots of interest statewide in the Q& A session at the end.
